HID announces a new modular approach to its iCLASS family of read/write contactless smart card products designed for fingerprint verification applications. Using 13.56 MHz contactless smart card technology, the bioCLASS product line provides users with new options for supporting multi-authentication identity. It provides three levels of security verification: card only, card and personal identification number (PIN), or card, PIN and fingerprint verification. The bioCLASS model RWKLB575 is a read/write contactless smart card reader that includes a keypad, LCD display, right or left-hand ADA-standard finger pad sensor and fingerprint biometric verification module. The bioCLASS model RWKLB550 is a read/write contactless smart card reader that includes a keypad and LCD display. The bioCLASS BIO500 fingerprint verification module addition is used to field upgrade existing RWKL550 keypad readers, allowing for increased flexibility for future security needs without discarding the entire system.
